Unless you're talking about the animations, which I just pulled out of one of my Spore folders. I didn't even know those were there. There's this entire folder filled with animations showing the process of building creations.

Hello. Random, but my prom was over a week and a half ago. It feels like such a short time ago I was a 9th grader fantasizing about it and how rad and perfect it would be. But...looking back, it could have been way better. The atmosphere was just so dull. The music was so-so. The only thing that made it enjoyable was the friends who were there with me. Have any of you (who did go to your highschool prom) felt that way? The after party I went to was waaay better. :T

Lady Gaga is often called "original" by people who have never seen performance art in music before. She is also probably a Cthulhu cultist.

The originality is not to be found in the fact that is performance art, it is found in the performance itself. I have never seen Lady Gaga perform, but here costumes seem pretty original to me. They appear to be drag queen inspired, but I don't know of any drag queen that she could be accused of ripping off.

Because Megaman is the ultimate in Nintendo Hard. I have never been able to play it without getting frustrated and quitting.

Also, congrats on the job.

Many thanks.

Also, yeah. Mega Man as a whole series is brutal. 7 is actually fairly easy compared to some entries, but then you get to the final boss and it's just the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen. It makes Mario's Lost Levels look like the Found Levels. It will take grown men and make them cry like helpless children.

If it can be rationally compared to Mario's lost levels, then it can't be that bad

That'd be 1 far ahead of 2. 2 has some hard parts, but they all do. I'd dare say that 4 is harder than 2, too. 6 is just unmemorable, so I can't weigh in on the hardness. 3 is about the right difficulty setting. Others are too easy or are difficult because why not. (Also 2's "Difficult" mode doesn't really add much difficulty.) 7 is pretty easy until the latter reaches of the castle. So is 8*, with the exception of one hand-crunchingly hard boss and one hand-crunchingly dumb boss whose difficulty mostly comes from his gimmick not being all that well implemented.

I also don't believe the first one is the hardest. It was the first of the classic series I beat, and I wasn't even aware of the pause glitch.

Seven wouldn't be a contender for the hardest at all were not for its boss, but Jesus Christ. It's difficult to judge the hardest one beyond that. I've seen people say X6 is one of the most frustrating, but that was also one of the first I beat. I don't think any of the Playstation X games are near as difficult as the SNES ones.

Well, most of the difficulty is based on muscle memory and timing, so spending a few rounds on any one area/boss/game in the series will let you waltz through it eventually.

But if you put down the series or particular game for a while and come back rusty, or if it's your first time through, you'll get absolutely wrecked. And I don't know how much more challenging than that you can get without just being unfair. Anyone who doesn't think the series is hard is so familiar with it they've lost perspective. At the very least, I challenge anyone who breezes through most Mega Man games to find something they do find hard (early Castlevania?).
